Passengers Begin Calling 911 After Being Stuck on a Plane For Hours & More
Headlines and deals from around the web:
- The last few days have not been a good time to be flying through JFK airport. After the airport shut down Thursday forcing a Singapore Airlines’ A380 to divert to a small airport, passengers wound up stuck on the tarmac for hours on Friday and early Saturday morning, often waiting over 3 hours to get a gate only to wait hours more at baggage claim. Some passengers apparently began calling 911 after hours stuck on the tarmac.
Been stuck on tarmac for over 3 hours at JFK Alitalia flight 8604. Multiple passengers seeking medical attention. Staff not communicating. Babies literally crying from hunger and people calling police from the plane. Please RT to get this to the press.
